Like that they are finally updating the rooms , over night staff was rude and not attentive, breakfast was horrible, all pastries were hard and dry , breakfast sausage was hard and old , bacon broke into glass pieces , potatoes were cold and hard , then they had the nerve to charge me for an extra person, just because my sister that didn’t eat had a taste of my daughters biscuits and gravy . Yea I was highly disappointed with the $46 I spent on breakfast.

We keep coming back

We stay here when visiting family. We used to stay at a nearby property until they reduced their amenities and switched to this one. We haven't been disappointed. The property is in good condition with a nice pool. The staff has always been helpful. We'll keep coming back.
